A great big THANK YOU to all the good folks who came out to the Santa Clara Faith Formation Conference this past weekend and especially to those who sat in on my presentations! It’s always a delight to travel to California (especially when it’s cold in Chicago!) and to share faith with you. I also had a chance to get together with my cousin Mike and his wife Mary Kay who live in San Jose…it was great catching up! (And it was NOT fun coming back to snow and 19 degrees!)

BKD in NJ
Thanks to the 75-80 catechetical leaders who spent the day with me Wednesday in Newark, New Jersey, exploring ways of forming catechists in the dimensions of Being, Knowing, and Doing. It was a wonderful day and I enjoyed meeting so many of you and talking with you about all things catechetical.

Now that I’m back from my trips to Dallas and Hawaii, I’d like to take a bit of time to catch my breath and catch up with you on a few things.

Spring Enrichment – Albany, New York
I’ll be doing a couple of presentations at the Spring Enrichment conference for the Diocese of Albany, New York. As always, I look forward to meeting catechists from another part of God’s world! I’ll be speaking about the Catechist’s Toolbox and about God’s Library (Scripture). I’ll be flying there on “Cloud 9” – that’s where I am following the Chicago Blackhawks’ big win last night!!!

Great to see you, as always, Joe!
From one hard working catechist to another!
I am director of our parish youth catechesis and have been a catechist since I was a sophamore in college (25+ years ago!). I attended your Friday morning presentation on Catholic identity and it was great. I have read a few of your books and this year we started using Called To Be Catholic. Excellent text. Will be following it with Confirmed in the Spirit.
Thanks, David! Keep up the great work! Glad I can be a partner on the journey!
